About This Spot
Stepping into The Common Man Windham, you immediately sense a welcoming warmth that feels like a familiar gathering spot for friends and family alike. The pace here is comfortably unhurried, inviting you to settle in and soak up a steady hum of friendly chatter and quiet laughter. The space strikes a balance between cozy and lively — a place where the rustic charm of a traditional American bar & grill meets the thoughtful touches of a place mindful of its guests’ comfort and enjoyment.
The mood throughout is relaxed, yet vibrant enough to keep spirits lifted on a casual weeknight or a celebratory weekend evening. Whether you’re coming from a brisk outdoor adventure or wrapping up a long day, it’s easy to find a nook or stretch out on a cozy couch, as many guests have discovered. The attentive staff, who seem to know just when to check in and when to give you space, add a quietly caring dimension to the experience that stays with you after you leave.
Food here is clearly crafted to feel like a genuine, hearty conversation—comforting and layered with thoughtful flavors rather than flashy trends.

Drinks, too, complement the atmosphere seamlessly. Whether it’s a glass of Common Man IPA or a carefully made Bloody Mary, each sip matches the warmth and authenticity of the space.

The Common Man has a large variety of items on their menu. You will have no problems finding your favorite. The food is delicious and wholesome, with reasonable prices and generous portions.

We were coming from an outdoor holiday farm ride. We were all cold and likely underdressed but we went anyway to warm up and get some food. We were not disappointed. All four of the kids with us got steak tips. I got lobster corn chowder and my wife roasted pepper bisque. Both delicious! My wife got the tuna and noodle plate is was great and I got the chicken burrata. Man what a flavor bomb. Theres some standard fare but with a flare. Theres steaks with some sort of compound butter or onion jam or something to set it apart from other places. The down to earth atmosphere is also great. Arianna was our server and she was fantastic. Kudos to her as well

The common man experience, featuring Ryan the server. We arrived dreary and ready for a pick me up, then we saw him. Ryan. He greeted us with a welcoming smile. We asked him for recommendations, he recommended us the apple walnut chicken and we ended up ordering that. When I tell you it was the best food we ever had I’m not exaggerating. Ryan’s service was impeccable, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was incredible. Highly recommend eating here, highly recommend asking for Ryan, he’s BY FAR the best server I’ve ever encountered.

I have been to Common Man in Lincoln, NH and it has always been top notch in food, service and atmosphere. My wife wanted Common Man for our anniversary dinner so we visited the one in Windham. They didn't let us down. We both got the delicious lobster corn chowder with a corn bread muffin. I got a long time favorite at this place the Chicken Pot pie. The crust was perfect and filling was so tasty. My wife got a seafood casserole, loaded with shrimp and scallop. No room dessert, but the server always brings some nuggets of white chocolate with the check.

KEVIN IS UNBELIEVABLE. The manager helped me and my daughters widen the table so we could continue playing a fun game of “Clue” while eating our dinner on cozy couches! This is the kind of customer service makes your heart sing which unfortunately we don’t see often enough! I’m so grateful this kind of humanity still exists. Kalei was our server and was super responsive and attentive. Everything from start to finish was exactly what we hope for!

Sat at the bar with no wait and started with a glass of wine. A wedding party was celebrating, which added a sweet touch to the atmosphere. The rustic barn vibes create a warm, inviting setting, and I loved the help yourself cheese and crackers table. The arancini was crisp and paired beautifully with a rich cream sauce. The Caesar salad with steak tips was on the pricey side for a salad, but the steak tips were juicy and cooked to perfection. Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent food and a great atmosphere.

Great place to dine. We ate upstairs, which is a little more casual, pub feeling. Downstairs is great too, mostly the same food but feels more like eating at grandma's house. Wings were outstanding. Cheese and crackers are almost a meal to themselves. I did choose poorly and got a pizza, that's on me. It wasn't great. But everyone smarter than me got pot roast or smoke house burgers or the like, and I was jealous. Will definitely eat there again. I just won't get the pizza.
